[Verse 1: Suzanne Vega]
Here's a young one
Hey Rufus
How's the rain on the rhubarb?
You wanna go out with me?
Yeah, I know, we're out
It's, like, a figure of speech
All you need is a real girl guide
Give it up and come inside
Slip the leash, shake it loose
Bite the peach, suck the juice

[Chorus: Suzanne Vega, Joe Jackson]
What did you call me?
Angel
What was that again?
Angel

[Bridge: Dawn Upshaw]
Ave gloriosa virginum regina
Vitis generosa, vite medicina
Clemencie resina
Ave copiosa gracie piscina
Carnis maculosa mund' illum sentina
Mundicie cortina
[Verse 2: Suzanne Vega]
Hey, chicken
Is that your girl?
Bet she lays like a lump
What's your poison—lemonade?
Velveteen or a razor blade?
You wanna walk in the dark with me
To a place where no one sees?
Kiss the glove
Pretty please
You wanna pray?
On your knees

[Chorus: Suzanne Vega, Joe Jackson]
What did you call me?
Angel
Say it again
Angel

[Bridge: Dawn Upshaw]
Claritate radiosa, stella matutina
Brevitate legis glossa, perte lex divina
Irradiat doctrina
Venustate vernans rosa, sine culpe sina
Caritate viscerosa, aurem buc inclina
Serves ill'a ruina
[Outro: Suzanne Vega]
Hey, sailor
How's the steam in the stovepipe?
